Today's Class- Today we started our study of color with some simple exercises in basic color theory and mixing. After reviewing slides of the use of color from prehistoric cave paintings through the 20th century, I had students make a 12 hue color wheel, mixing all the colors from the three primary colors. We also did an exercise involving the mixing of complementary colors. Unfortunately, it's a little involved to explain the whole thing here, so next week ask me for the handout and I'll explain it to you then. This was a portfolio exercise, so you have the rest of the semester to make it up.
Homework- The research papers are due at the beginning of class on March 19, 2007
For Next Class (3/19/07)- We will look at the history of photography and discuss the basic principles. I will hand out and review a photography assignment that you will complete on your own time. We won't be working on any art projects in class, so you don't have to bring any of those materials.
